“It’s the first year that everything has gone well, right through to the end of the season. The plants stood up well and I'm entirely satisfied with the effectiveness of the product.”

The farmer’s objective

Employ sustainable production methods to optimise profitability on his farm.

Agricultural practice

The variety produced is "Akito", a cucumber that is short and spiny. OPTIPLANT® is sprayed onto the leaves when humidity and temperature conditions are optimal. The first applications began 45 days after planting, between 15 May and 14 July 2013, every fortnight at a dose of 3 litres per hectare.
